For people with disabilities, dealing with the fair's crowded midway, loud noise and general confusion can be a challenge. But the Statesboro Kiwanis Club makes sure each year that people with special needs get to enjoy the fair safely and securely. On Wednesday morning, dozens of children and adults with disabilities enjoyed a visit to the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair.
